Today’s Washington Post carries a perfectly serviceable Monday morning thumb-sucker by Dan Balz about the state of the Democratic presidential race. Two things stick out:

1. Except for one mention of Howard Dean’s support “on the left,” the Dem field apparently has no ideology whatsoever. Do they fine reporters for every use of “liberal” in a story on Democrats?

2. Balz makes a rather large boo-boo in describing the Abortion Party’s key interest groups: “So far, no candidate has become the favorite among elected officials or key interest groups, including environmental and antiabortion activists.”
